Afterimage

May 30

Museum of Craft and Design

Claim your place before it disappears!

An immersive, one-evening-only extension of Video Craft, Afterimage invites you into an experience designed to linger, exploring how art lives on beyond the moment it’s seen.

Join the Museum of Craft and Design, for Afterimage, an experience that unfolds throughout the museum and beyond.

Inspired by the phenomenon of the afterimage, what lingers after the first encounter, the evening is designed to stay with you. A benefit event where artists, designers, and cultural leaders come together for a night that moves between experience and reflection, revealing not only what is made, but how it’s made, and what remains after.

At its core, Afterimage is about impact. The kind that doesn’t end when you walk out the door, but continues to shape how you see, think, and imagine. An evening of cocktails, dinner, and immersive experiences, where artist-driven installations and evolving environments reveal both the process and the finished work.

The Bay Area deserves spaces that uplift makers across mediums and illuminate the creative process. By attending Afterimage, you directly support the Museum of Craft and Design and its ability to be such a space.

Afterimage, an evening that will linger.
